About the Item

A large and sculptural art glass vase, handblown in Italy in the 1960s by Cristalleria Artistica Toscana, part of the celebrated Empoli glass tradition. This piece showcases chartreuse green glass with broad swirls of opaque white, embedded directly into the vessel during the blowing process—creating a dynamic, striped optic effect throughout the surface. The form is striking: an exaggerated urn shape with a full, rounded belly that tapers at the neck and flares slightly at the rim. It’s a lesser-seen silhouette from C.A.T., and an excellent example of the experimental yet functional artistry emerging from Tuscany’s mid-century glassworks. This vintage Italian glass vase measures approximately 31 cm in height and 24 cm in diameter, giving it notable presence on a console, centre table, or open shelving. In very good vintage condition with no cracks or chips. Minor surface wear commensurate with age and gentle use. A bold collector’s piece that bridges sculptural form and decorative utility—ideal for those drawn to post-war Italian design and distinctive mid-century modern glassware.

Green Opaline Jadeite Glass Trumpet Vase, Empoli Italy, 1960s
By Empoli, Stelvia
Located in Glasgow, GB
An elegant pale green opaline glass trumpet vase, attributed to Stelvia of Empoli, Italy, likely produced as part of the Opalina Fiorentina range, circa 1960s. This mid-century vase is a fine example of jadeite glass—a softly translucent type of opaline glassware popularised by Stelvia and echoed in the work of Murano glassmakers during the same period. Handblown in mint green opaline glass, the vase features a classical trumpet silhouette: a flared conical body tapering into a rounded base, poised on a slender stem with a gently splayed foot. The opaline surface captures ambient light beautifully, producing a softly luminous, milky glow characteristic of the Stelvia opaline glass from this era. Measuring 18 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, the vase is in very good vintage condition. A single, pinpoint chip to the outer rim is visible only under close inspection and has been clearly documented in photographs. There are no cracks, repairs, or clouding to note. It works beautifully as a standalone glass accent or grouped with other Italian opaline glass vessels in complementary pastel shades such as lilac, baby blue, or alabaster. A timeless piece for collectors of vintage Italian glassware...
